It might be possible to use as a mask. PanosFX has some really interesting Photoshop actions. Thanks, Tom

I know certain fonts are not compatible with PTE and default to Arial. If possible support more font types. Until then I can import transparent PNG from another program. Example NASA Worm True Type Font https://www.1001fonts.com/nasalization-free-font.html Thanks, Tom

I can also see Barry's point about feature creep. After layer blending there are many other things that would be nice to have like custom LUTs, bezier curves, ..., kitchen sink. I have complete faith that Igor and team will continue to improve PTE without sacrificing viewing quality and performance. Since I can only guess how difficult it is to implement additional features it's easy for me to make something sound simple when it's actually hard. Tom

Yes. There are many smart people who tried to warn us but we did not listen. Now the world is listening. https://www.ted.com/talks/larry_brilliant_my_wish_help_me_stop_pandemics?language=en https://nutritionfacts.org/video/pandemics-history-prevention/ Tom

Hi Gary, That is quite a large number of wildlife in your backyard. I like the animated slide style. That poor fox couldn't carry all the food back to the den. Columbia is very green. Thanks, Tom

Hi Igor, If I copy the image into a new folder it displays correctly. I also sent you the image in a message. The file list was in text mode so I did not see the rotation. I might have pressed Ctrl+F by accident. Problem solved. Thanks, Tom

I *think* it was OK in 10.0.8. When I loaded the project in 10.0.9 it was rotated 90 degrees. It does not rotate in other image viewing applications. It does auto rotate in PTE 9. I'm guessing there is some rotate metadata? If I save the image in Irfanview it fixes the rotation and displays properly. Here is the image from pixabay that auto rotates. Thanks, Tom

Interesting. I didn't know that about his childhood. He has quite a kick at the end of the race. I think almost everyone underestimated covid-19. We need to plan ahead for the next cycle. More testing, medical supplies, ventilators, and hopefully a vaccine. Thanks, Tom

You might want to install the demo version of PTE AV Studio 10 and see if color management fixes the problem. https://www.wnsoft.com/en/pte-av-studio/download/

No photographs, just animation and video. I remember watching Dave Wottle run in the Olympics. He seemed more like a weekend jogger because of his baseball cap he wore in races. Thanks, Tom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T997zZxG50

Real text outline is a good idea. Adobe Premiere has layer blend modes. It's an option, not a requirement. Maybe possible, maybe impossible. I hope PTE never stops evolving. Tom

My mother used to say "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride". Not sure how hard it would be to implement layer blending. If it is something the GPU could accomplish maybe it would not slow down the PTE engine. Tom

Hi Barry, Nice demo of blend modes. Years ago I submitted a suggestion for layer blend modes in PTE (overlay, multiply, ...) . Then you would not have to use Photoshop for the third image and could create custom transitions. Thanks, Tom

Hi Rosemary, Yes. It will be fun to go outside again. Thanks, Tom

Very inspirational. I think we should try to take better care of the planet. We can already detect less air pollution due to recent changes in the amount of travel. Thanks, Tom

Someone else has probably made this transition before but I was getting bored so decided to have some fun. Zoom is 65%. I was watching the Backstreet Boys living room concert video and noticed a similar transition. Media from pixabay.com. Background is black unless you add a gradient like I did for sample video. Update: I decided to create Zoom Spin and Zoom Dissolve transitions. Thanks, Tom ZoomPan 16x9.pteeff ZoomSpin 16x9.pteeff Zoom Dissolve 16x9.pteeff

Hi MUR, Very nice. The flames look real. I like how you used the video both as a mask and content. By adding color correction to the video mask you can make the fire even more intense. Thanks, Tom

I have added a helicopter to the list of aircraft. It is a little more difficult due to the mask shape and 2 opacity values. Thanks, Tom Aircraft2.pteeff helicopters_main_rotor_blades.svg

Hi MUR, I have not tried a fire transition. Sounds interesting. I hope you post it to the forum when it's finished. DaveGee created a bicycle silhouette transition about a year ago. Thanks, Tom

Playing with my vector editor (boxy-svg) and I decided to try and create a plane. SVG vector file attached (visible in any modern web browser) in case anyone wants to improve on the design. Simple pan of mask behind plane. Images from pixabay.com. Thanks, Tom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9Cx25brOUE Aircraft.pteeff pte_jet_transition.svg

Hi Mur, At first I wondered why you created a zip file for a pteff file (which is already a zip file). After discovering it was a .pte project file (text) it made sense. Interesting how you added a second copy of both slides so that it appears to be a transition when it's more like a style. The X zoom is very accurate and smooth. It's amazing what you can do with PTE. Thanks, Tom

Damping tennis ball and random patterns look great. I never thought about adjusting modifiers inside text editor/spreadsheet or exposing variables by adding pinfo inputs. Interesting.... Thanks, Tom

It's amazing what a modifier can do when used with object time range and shift to simulate a keyframe. Practicing animation with PTE helps distract me from watching too much covid-19 news. Thanks, Tom

Thanks. It's fun to experiment with all of the features in PTE. Tom

Maybe easier to adjust grid using click and drag method. Another option might be a temporary blue line displayed when items are aligned or adjustable guide (requested before). Thanks, Tom 2020-03-21_14-20-34.mp4
